Question

$$(54x-27)/9=2x+17$$

Solve for x

$x=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $9$.

$$54x-27=18x+153$$

Subtract $18x$ from both sides.

$$54x-27-18x=153$$

Combine $54x$ and $-18x$ to get $36x$.

$$36x-27=153$$

Add $27$ to both sides.

$$36x=153+27$$

Add $153$ and $27$ to get $180$.

$$36x=180$$

Divide both sides by $36$.

$$x=\frac{180}{36}$$

Divide $180$ by $36$ to get $5$.

$$x=5$$
